Task Achievement
While your essay presents a clear viewpoint and covers advantages and disadvantages, ensure to have a balanced discussion for both sides to maintain a comprehensive debate.
Coherence & Cohesion
Pay attention to spelling and grammar to avoid small inaccuracies, such as 'the technology are extremelly advanced,' which should be 'technologies are extremely advanced' and 'their spair time' to 'their spare time.'
Coherence & Cohesion
To improve coherence, ensure that transitions between ideas and paragraphs are smooth. Using connective phrases can help achieve a more fluid reading experience.
Task Achievement
Make sure examples are accurate and up-to-date. Citing an article 'from 2024' may confuse readers if the actual publication year differs or if the article cannot be easily verified.
Task Achievement
Your essay effectively uses examples to support your arguments, which strengthens your discussion.
Task Achievement
The conclusion summarizes your opinion well, reinforcing the stance you've taken throughout the essay.
Coherence & Cohesion
You demonstrated a good range of vocabulary related to the topic, which helps to clearly convey your arguments.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
